The
International Climate Change Information Programme (ICCIP) - in
cooperation with Springer - is preparing a landmark, multi-volume
reference work titled the Handbook of Climate Change Adaptation. This
is an addition to the series “Climate Change Management” which, since it
was launched in 2008, has becomethe world´s leading book series on the topic: http://www.springer.com/series/8740

The
Handbook of Climate Change Adaptation will provide a concrete
contribution towards addressing the perceived need for high-quality,
interdisciplinary papers, which
can be used not only as a valuable information source but also as tools
to support teaching and research and, as an added value, help to assist
in decision-making. The Handbook of Climate Change Adaptation focuses
in one of the key aspects of climate change: adaptation and how to
handle its impacts on physical, biotic and human systems, including
social and normative scientific concerns, coupled with the tools,
approaches and methods aimed at the management of these effects and
impacts.

Although the
Handbook of Climate Change Adaptation is on the one hand grounded in the
best science and
meets the highest scientific standards, it aims on the other hand as
far as possible to be inclusive methodologically, and be practice-based.
It will also be fully international in its coverage and authorship, as
befits a topic of such importance to humankind.

The Handbook of Climate Change Adaptation is structured around 4 volumes:

A
set of cross-cutting issues will be included, such as the
socio-economics of climate change, resilience, economics, trade,
growth, development, justice, poverty, health, populations, security,
international politics, the UN process, democracy, education,
information and communication. The Millenium Development Goals also
represent a major element to be considered. Due to its scope, approach
and global impact, this is probably one of the most significant book
projects in the field of climate change of this Decade.

Abstracts
from suitable qualified researchers are now being invited. The deadline
for submissions is the 30th March 2013. Details on the schedule and
structure will be discussed with interested colleagues. Expressions of interest should be sent to ICCIP at: info@iccip.net or beids@beids.de.
